In my experience the gasket with the deep trim is easier to install..... Put the gasket on the glass, then put the trim in the gasket, and install as a unit. You may have to put a few strips of masking tape around it to hold everything together until you are ready to install it.
I wouldn't buy the repo trim. From what I read it doesn't fit too well and makes the windshield almost impossible to install.

Thanks for your perfect answer! I bought (I thought
I did) the rubber for my 5/8 trim. Instead they send
the rubber for the 3/8 trim. So I bought new 5/8
trim. But when we put the window in place
the rubber didn’t sealed as it should. There where
a huge gap between the glass and the rubber
not all over but on the side of the passenger
and all underneath. So you might have right when
you said that the new trim and the old rubber don’t match.
It’s a long shot, but I will order new trim 3/8 for my
new rubber and try it. Let’s hope it will work
